Harthal!!!!!

Recently came across a news in the daily stating that the Tamil film industry is planning to shut down its operations for a day in order to extend their support to the Tamils at Srilanka. It is nice to hear that people in Tamilnadu, India care for our brotherhood living there in Srilanka and suffering for their survival. But I cannot understand the fact that what happens if these people shut down their operations for a day or so, Will it really help the suffering people? The answer is NO.

Whenever there are some issues people (political parties in specific) tend to call for harthal and Bandh and make sure the people suffer a lot because of the same. Will this definitely help the needy? Or by shutting down a day or so will the Srilankan government stop all the atrocious activities against Tamilians who live in Srilanka? What are they going to gain out of these Harthals???? Nothing…

Instead of calling for such unwanted Harthal’s why not they thinks something proactive and do something which will be really needed. Have read somewhere sometime before that in Japan if they would like to call for a Harthal or so they will never shut down the operations instead they will make sure that the production is on which will be of no use unless they put some more effort. For Example it is a Shoe Manufacturing company going for a strike, on the day of strike they will produce only right leg shoes and not the left ones. By this they express their grief as well as make sure that the production is not stand still. On the next day to strike they continue to work on the left shoes and by the end of next day the company will be in a comfortable position to ship the goods as per their plan.

Why we Indians are reluctant in doing this? By shutting down all the theaters one day we are no way helping the Tamilians at Srilanka instead we are putting our people in trouble. Think about the revenue loss in one days collection and all the directed and indirect earnings out of the same. Starting from the guy who takes token for your vehicles to the canteen guy who sells snacks to you will be loosing their one day wage. Instead they can contribute a part of their collections to the victims or even call for a high level discussion and make sure that the issues are sorted out at appropriate levels…

Wish to see such changes in INDIA soon which will for sure take us to the super power dream by 2020
